    Question What age is considered ADULT for growth hormone deficiency?

    Hi, quick question: at what age is one medically considered an adult when dealing with growth hormone deficiency?

    In addition, does anyone know the minimum level a growth hormone stimulation test should show for a normal, non-deficient person?

    Thanks.

    This is a loaded question. A 11 year old that has growth deficiency is prescribed HGH. Are they an "adult" when it comes to HGH? Is this what you're asking? Do you want to know when you can start taking HGH if your level of HGH is not "normal"?

    A healthy adult in their 20's are producing about 1.5iu to nearly 2iu everyday of natural growth hormones.

    Thanks.
    I don't really understand the reason for your questions so I'm not sure if I'm answering them to your satisfaction.
